Is there a world in which we don't extend Karlaftis?

Karlaftis will be an extremely difficult case depending on what he wants. He’s a really good DE, but he’s not a force multiplier or a guy that is truly elite. He could get even better and make a great case.

It really depends on his asking price. If he wants $30 million APY or more you clearly let him walk, or try to trade him. If he can accept around $24 million APY I think you keep him.
